hippos, fat cars, and a bath tub

a few weeks ago me and peter went up to tete province to go check out cahora bassa dam...
the ride was long, but the destination was worth it

we went fishing and ran into some hungry hippos

hungry hungry hippos

peter on boat

me on boat

and after a few days of fishing, hot showers, good food, and hot showers.. we had to say "tchao"

and then made our way back to chimoio for the JOMA conference.. and obviously, the kids had a blast

we played chubby bunny.. except, they had to say "gato gordo" (fat cat)

the music group went out to an orphanage and taught them that you can make music with anything

the art and journalism group collaborated as well... the painting was done by one of my kids that i brought along with me..

that's me and my counterpart, mariano..

work hard, party hard.. and that's what we do...

but alas, all good things must come to an end

..... then home sweet home=).. that's betty, one of the many kids that roam our backyard..

tino was also happy to see us back home... he does a lil jig whenever i bring out the guitar... real cute


kids love feeling as tall as peter

like i said, kids love feeling as tall as peter

a bath tub made its way to the back of our house.. it just appeared there when we got back from chimoio

so obviously, you gotta fill as many kids in it as possible and go for a ride..

and it's one hell of a ride

then after about a week, went for another ride to vilankulos to a hostel on a beach... this place is called baobob's... naturally


and then i started to walk towards the beach

got there, looked to the right

looked to the left

then had to walk away.... sigh

peace corps, mozambique... holding it down

over and out
